Just in time for the holidays! The United Fund of Talbot County disbursed the first of three distributions to its 2014-15 participating agencies in the amount of $111,460. Representatives from the Fund’s 20 member agencies were on hand to receive their checks at the Fund’s office at 121 North Washington Street. So far, this year’s campaign appeal has attracted 63% of its $400,000 goal.
“We’ve all heard that it is better to give than to receive. To know that you are helping to make someone’s life just a little bit easier or helping to make someone happy is a wonderful feeling. And it’s thanks to the generous outpouring of community support that our 20 participating agencies are able to meet some of the greatest needs throughout Talbot County,” said Ann Jacobs, United Fund of Talbot County Executive Director. “We remain optimistic that not-yet-received yearend gifts will help propel us toward the achievement of our campaign goal.”
The 2014-15 UFTC participating agencies are: BAAM, Boy Scouts in Talbot County, CASA of Talbot County, Character Counts!, Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center, Delmarva Community Services, For All Seasons, Girl Scouts of Talbot County; Mental Health Association in Talbot County, Mid-Shore Council on Family Violence, Mid-Shore Pro Bono, Neighborhood Service Center, Partners in Care, St. Martin’s Ministries, St. Michaels Community Center. Talbot Mentors, Talbot Special Riders, Tilghman Area Youth Association, United Needs and Abilities and Upper Shore Aging.
